A simple "git status" told me an invalid object. Just doing git status corrupted the index file and only this. The reason was a wrong configured (unseen reconfigured from another script) mount via cygwin using "textmode" not "binary mode". After remounting with "binary mode" a simple "git read-tree HEAD" repaired it. Just the index file had been corrupted. Stefan -- Stefan-W.
